Why is it s difficult to be positive all the damn time? We struggle with our own inner dialogue telling us we just can't be healthy, we can't save money, we can't have a happy relationship blah blah blah. We find ourselves quickly judging others because of our own insecurities that can feed into toxic gossip. We catch ourselves talking badly to ourselves and about others and know deep inside it's not good but somehow it just keeps going. Why is it so hard to be nice sometimes, especially to ourselves?

BE PRESENT & GRATEFUL & YOU BECOME MORE POSITIVE

This past year has been a year for me personally to be kinder, less toxic, more loving and less judgmental. It has taken a lot of work to replace the negative thoughts with positive ones and I struggle every day but I have seen the results that can happen when you put more energy towards positive thoughts. You become more present in the moments of life that we sometimes rush by and somehow you start to notice change or things that were there all along. A good example of this is that my husband and I created a rule in the house that there was no looking at phones or laptops after 5pm and that we would eat at the dinner table every night. Well, that didn't happen all the time but, the little effort that we made in doing that forced us to become completely present in the moment and it created some long lasting family memories. Those moments fill your heart with such joy and gratitude that you can't help but to feel buzzy good love!

INTENTIONS & THE LAW OF ATTRACTION

I started to set intentions a year ago to attract more of what I want in my life. Some people ask, "What do you mean by setting intentions? Well, I basically light a candle, meditate, feel gratitude for what I have and then ask the universe what I want and really visualize what I want to happen in my life (that day) and believe that it will happen and EXPECT it to happen. This is NOT easy to do!!!! That's when I created The Pure Intentions Collection. I needed to see the word of what it was that I wanted, breathe in the beautiful aromatherapy to support my intention, and touch the oils from the pool of wax to massage into my skin to remind me throughout the day of my intention. Basically SURROUND myself with what I want. I can't tell you that these are magic candles because the truth is that the magic is within YOU. But it takes work to CREATE the life that will attract everything you want in life and these candles offer inspiration, and make it a little easier to stay focused on the visualization.

DREAMS CAN COME TRUE

A year ago I wanted to finally be free of an office or corporate environment and have my own business, I wanted to mend an important relationship in my life, I wanted to be a more present mom and learn from my daughter (they teach us so much), to release any toxic aspects to my life which meant jobs, friends, and lifestyle, to love myself, to be a loving and supportive wife, to have a business that was profitable and meaningful and would inspire others, to have amazing and high end clients, to become a certified Yoga Instructor for my own health journey, to be more compassionate and to RELEASE anything that wasn't serving me anymore-to HEAL. I did all that plus more! I 100% believe that because I changed my mindset and had the right people supporting me, I let go of any fear to make it happen.

Now, it's 2014 and I am excited because I KNOW that I will make my dreams come true because I have it within me and there will only be the most supportive people around me to make it happen. I will attract everything I need in my life. I BELIEVE!

Let go and create the life you have always wanted. Make 2014 your year!
